Continuous improvement

of CORTEX

ArcGIS: A critical

decision-making ally

→ Innovation → Culture of innovation

We pursued the deployment of CORTEX to optimize our existing

modules and deploy new ones, with the goal of centralizing a

project’s data on a single platform. This process is part of the

complete life cycle of a project. It enables our teams to assess

projects at different phases, identify risk situations and the mea-

sures to ensure their proper management, and maintain good

relations with our partners throughout the project.

In 2021, we deployed two modules: the Partner Assessment

Module and the 10-50-80 Module, in which every project is sub-

ject to a progress report at 10%, 50% and 80% of completion.

Then, in 2022, we launched three other modules: the 0 Module,

listing the information necessary for project start-up; the Project

Status Module, featuring the monthly reports for our clients; and

the Project Assessment Module, where the lessons learned are

shared. With these new modules, we can now follow a project

throughout its entire life cycle.

In 2023, our Innovation and Quality teams are working closely on

improving the 0 Module and the Partner Assessment Module with

the goal of optimizing user experience.

ArcGIS is a tool that provides very important insights and

enables us to use precise and reliable environmental data to

determine the characteristics and sensitivities of a project’s

geographic context. For example, it can signal the proximity

of a water table, a wetland or an area where a special- status

species is concentrated. It can be used to calculate the

maximum depth of pilings based on the positioning of water

tables, or, using Thiessen polygons and drilling data, establish

the quantity of soil to be excavated, and where to dispose of

or reclaim it, thanks to the location of reception sites. These

examples illustrate how ArcGIS can be a critical ally in ensuring

better project monitoring and, more specif ically, in making

decisions based on reliable environmental data.

With digitization, we’re making major strides
